PlayStation has stated that this is part of an ongoing review into its development resources – perhaps referring to the layoffs at Sony Santa Monica last month.

"Regular reviews throughout SCE Worldwide Studios, ensuring that the resources that we have in such a competitive business can create and produce high quality, innovative and commercially viable projects," a Sony spokesperson told the site.

"As part of this process, we have reviewed and assessed all current projects and have decided to make some changes to some of our European studios. As a result of this, there will be a focused restructure within London Studio, Guerilla Cambridge Studio and Evolution Studio to ensure that the SCE WWS is in the best position to achieve their goals going forward.

"Our first party development studios are key to our creative strategy and we are very excited about the future projects being worked on."
